It has been widely acknowledged that fish from the Asian market brought to America are being fed with pig feces.
This was further accentuated in the November issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine. In this publication emphasis was placed on safety and food poisoning and it highlighted the fact that in some parts of Asia it is common practice to feed fish with pig feces.
The publication also gave a case study on a fish factory in Southern Vietnam; it stated that there were baskets of shrimps with flies crawling all over the shrimps.
While Bloomberg in its report stated that some fish factories used ice to preserve their seafood and commended such plants. However it raised the question of the type of water used to make the ice as it discovered that the water used in some plants were contaminated with bacteria that could be harmful to human beings.
It is interesting to note that about 8% of shrimps sold in the U.S is shipped from Vietnam. It is estimated that they supply about 100 million pounds of shrimp annually.
In June last year, the U.S.Food and Drug Administration proposed a total prohibition on South Korean shellfish, which include mussels and clams because it was believed that these shellfish may have been exposed to human feces and contaminated. The FDA stated that not less than four Americans had fallen ill after consuming South Korean seafood.
In a tilapia fish farm in the outskirts of Hong Kong, the fish are fed with geese and pig feces.
According to Michael Doyle the director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia the pig and geese feces is unsafe as the manure may be contaminated with salmonella. This he stated is unsafe to U.S. Consumers. He further informed Bloomberg that these farms and farmers use feces of animals to feed their fish as an alternative to using commercial fish food because of the cost implication.
The Bloomberg report also stated that while the FDA carries out routine inspection on seafood shipped into the country, it is only able to inspect about 3% of shipments because of its meagre resources and manpower. It further stated that the FDA has sent back about 1,380 shipments of seafood from Vietnam since 2007 because of salmonella and filth discovered.
An officer of the American Tilapia Association and a foremost expert on seafood production in Asia -- Prof. Kevin Fitzsimmons has however stated that after he read the Bloomberg report, he felt that it was a bit misleading with the intention of scaring Americans by making the situation appear extremely appalling.
The professor and research scientist at the University of ArizonaCollege of Agriculture and Life Sciences stated that he has been in Asia for many year and therefore has a first-hand knowledge of the workings out there and that he was in fact heading over there for a conference on tilapia, he told ABC News.
He stated that the volume of seafood shipped from Asia to the U.S is in the range of hundreds of thousands if not millions and so if just 1,380 have been sent back to Vietnam since 2007, the number is minute.
He further stated that the practice of feeding fish with pig feces is a practice that dates back thousands of years. He explained that the fish are not eating the feces but rather the feces will increase the algae bloom in the water which in turn produces the plankton that the fish then eat.

Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific or Asia Pacific (abbreviated as Asia-Pac, AsPac, APAC, APJ, JAPA or JAPAC) is the part of the world in or near the Western Pacific Ocean. The region varies in size depending on which context, but it typically includes much of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

Alternatively, the term sometimes comprises all of Asia and Australasia as well as small/medium/large Pacific island nations (Asia Pacific and Australasian Continent) - for example when dividing the world into large regions for commercial purposes (e.g. into Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific).

On the whole there appears to be no clear cut definition of "Asia Pacific" and the regions included change as per the context.

Though imprecise, the term has become popular since the late 1980s in commerce, finance and politics. In fact, despite the heterogeneity of the regions' economies, most individual nations within the zone are emerging markets experiencing rapid growth. (Compare the concept/acronym APEJ or APeJ - Asia-Pacific excluding Japan.)

Malay Archipelago

The Malay ArchipelagoMalay:Kepulauan Melayu, Indonesian:Kepulauan Melayu or Nusantara, Tagalog:Kapuluan ng Malay ) is the archipelago between mainland Southeast Asia and Australia. It has also been called the Malay World, Indo-Australian Archipelago, East Indies, Nusantara, Spices Archipelago, and other names over time. The name was taken from the 19th-century European concept of a Malay race.

Asia Pacific (Radio Australia)

Asia Pacific is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's regional news & current affairs program. Schedule changes by ABC Radio Australia in 2013 saw the show lose its domestic radio audience. It remains available online at www.radioaustralia.net.au/asiapac

The show is broadcast each weekday from the ABC Southbank Centre in Melbourne.

Classification

Consumers are typically viewed as predatory animals such as the wolf and hyena. However, herbivorous animals and parasitic fungi are also consumers. Some carnivorous plants, like the Venus flytrap, are classified as both.

Levels

Within an ecological food chain, consumers are categorized into three groups: primary consumers, secondary consumers, and the tertiary consumers. Primary consumers are usually herbivores, feeding on plants and fungus. Secondary consumers, on the other hand, are mainly carnivores, and prey on other animals. Omnivores, who feed on both plants and animals, can also be considered a secondary consumer. Tertiary consumers, sometimes also known as apex predators, are usually at the top of food chains, capable of feeding on secondary consumers and primary consumers. Tertiary consumers can be either fully carnivorous or omnivorous. Humans are one such example of a tertiary consumer.

.asia

.asia is the official designated regional domain extension for Asia and the Pacific. It is a sponsored generic top-level-domain (gTLD) operated by the DotAsia Organisation Ltd. .asia is open to companies, individuals and organisations who have connection to the region. .Asia domains can be seen and used by international and Asian businesses; regional conferences and symposiums; as well as Asian artists and celebrities.

The .Asia web address was introduced to the public through a comprehensive launch involving a multiphased Sunrise and Landrush process from October 9, 2007 to March 12, 2008. It became available on a first-come-first-served registration basis on March 26, 2008. In 2013, there are more than 455,000 .asia domains registered across 155 countries.

Roll-out/response

.asia founded the first Pioneer Domains Program on July 20, 2007, more than two months prior to the opening of its Sunrise launch. It offered businesses and individuals an opportunity to own and build on any .Asia domain before the TLD opened its doors to mass public registration. Applicants were asked to submit a brief business plan for the domain of choice and make a marketing deposit of US$10,000. The full deposit was returned to successful applicants against proof of marketing attributed to the promotion of the built out .Asia website.

Asia

Asia (i/ˈeɪʒə/ or /ˈeɪʃə/) is the Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers, about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. It has historically been home to the world's first modern civilizations and has always hosted the bulk of the planet's human population. Asia is notable for not only overall large size and population, but unusually dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. The boundaries of Asia are traditionally determined as that of Eurasia, as there is no significant geographical separation between Asia and Europe. The most commonly accepted boundaries place Asia to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural River, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean.

He also appears in five full-length concert videos and has composed scores for numerous films including Oliver Stone's Heaven & Earth, Impressions of the West Lake, and The Soong Sisters. He won Golden Globe Award Best Original Score for Heaven & Earth and won Golden Horse Award and Hong Kong Film Award for The Soong Sisters (1997).

It has been widely acknowledged that fish from the Asian market brought to America are being fed with pig feces.
This was further accentuated in the November issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine. In this publication emphasis was placed on safety and food poisoning and it highlighted the fact that in some parts of Asia it is common practice to feed fish with pig feces.
The publication also gave a case study on a fish factory in Southern Vietnam; it stated that there were baskets of shrimps with flies crawling all over the shrimps.
While Bloomberg in its report stated that some fish factories used ice to preserve their seafood and commended such plants. However it raised the question of the type of water used to make the ice as it discovered that the water used in some plants were contaminated with bacteria that could be harmful to human beings.
It is interesting to note that about 8% of shrimps sold in the U.S is shipped from Vietnam. It is estimated that they supply about 100 million pounds of shrimp annually.
In June last year, the U.S.Food and Drug Administration proposed a total prohibition on South Korean shellfish, which include mussels and clams because it was believed that these shellfish may have been exposed to human feces and contaminated. The FDA stated that not less than four Americans had fallen ill after consuming South Korean seafood.
In a tilapia fish farm in the outskirts of Hong Kong, the fish are fed with geese and pig feces.
According to Michael Doyle the director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia the pig and geese feces is unsafe as the manure may be contaminated with salmonella. This he stated is unsafe to U.S. Consumers. He further informed Bloomberg that these farms and farmers use feces of animals to feed their fish as an alternative to using commercial fish food because of the cost implication.
The Bloomberg report also stated that while the FDA carries out routine inspection on seafood shipped into the country, it is only able to inspect about 3% of shipments because of its meagre resources and manpower. It further stated that the FDA has sent back about 1,380 shipments of seafood from Vietnam since 2007 because of salmonella and filth discovered.
An officer of the American Tilapia Association and a foremost expert on seafood production in Asia -- Prof. Kevin Fitzsimmons has however stated that after he read the Bloomberg report, he felt that it was a bit misleading with the intention of scaring Americans by making the situation appear extremely appalling.
The professor and research scientist at the University of ArizonaCollege of Agriculture and Life Sciences stated that he has been in Asia for many year and therefore has a first-hand knowledge of the workings out there and that he was in fact heading over there for a conference on tilapia, he told ABC News.
He stated that the volume of seafood shipped from Asia to the U.S is in the range of hundreds of thousands if not millions and so if just 1,380 have been sent back to Vietnam since 2007, the number is minute.
He further stated that the practice of feeding fish with pig feces is a practice that dates back thousands of years. He explained that the fish are not eating the feces but rather the feces will increase the algae bloom in the water which in turn produces the plankton that the fish then eat.

Best ways to reach affluent consumers in Asia Pacific revealed

Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific or Asia Pacific (abbreviated as Asia-Pac, AsPac, APAC, APJ, JAPA or JAPAC) is the part of the world in or near the Western Pacific Ocean. The region varies in size depending on which context, but it typically includes much of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

Alternatively, the term sometimes comprises all of Asia and Australasia as well as small/medium/large Pacific island nations (Asia Pacific and Australasian Continent) - for example when dividing the world into large regions for commercial purposes (e.g. into Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific).

On the whole there appears to be no clear cut definition of "Asia Pacific" and the regions included change as per the context.

Though imprecise, the term has become popular since the late 1980s in commerce, finance and politics. In fact, despite the heterogeneity of the regions' economies, most individual nations within the zone are emerging markets experiencing rapid growth. (Compare the concept/acronym APEJ or APeJ - Asia-Pacific excluding Japan.)
